Bond switch on C R waste water plant
Finance Commissioner Hal Schaefer said the city may finance its share of the new waste water treatment plant with general obligation bonds rather than revenue bonds. The council had planned $16 million in revenue bonds paid by user charges, but Penick and Ford cutbacks shift the cost share from about 58 percent to 41 percent for industry. A general obligation issue would balance burden between residential and industrial users and offer better interest rates and a shorter retirement schedule. The city awaits new figures from financial advisers.
